We saw an ambulance headed in the same direction as the4 had traveled. Proceeding5 through the woods and across 12th Street, we then hurried to the6 with unease. A group of about five people stood over a figure face down on the sidewalk. When the rescuers7 the victim, we were8 to discover it was our friend Benny. People around were looking up into a big tree for the9 as to what had hit the10 kid, who now had a lump (肿块) on his forehead about the size of a pebble.

At the time, and for years, Arnold and I were11 by guilt and anxiety to12 the whole thing to Benny. But it wasn't until 25 years later that we had Benny to dinner and13 everything. He touched his forehead, but he didn't14 us. He thought, and still thinks. Obviously, he forgot everything! If Benny reads this account, Arnold and I would like to offer him15, saying something we should have said long ago: Sorry!

Maintaining a positive mindset allows you to draw in luck. When you expect good things to happen, you are more likely to take risks that could lead to fortunate outcomes. By embracing this positive attitude, you become stronger in the face of challenges. This allows you to try again after failure and find new opportunities.

A wider network leads to more opportunities in your pursuit of fortune. According to psychologist Richard Wiseman, the No. 1 predictor of how many lucky breaks person has is how interconnected they are with others. Additionally, the presence of a supportive community and friendships further enhances your chances of experiencing good fortune.

Many lucky breaks occur as a result of bold (大胆的) actions. Even if you're not typically seen as bold, you can still enhance your confidence. For example, if you're feeling unhappy about your career prospects, polish your resume (简历) and apply to job listings that interest you. By welcoming risks, you create opportunities for luck to find you.

Luck favors those who are willing to consider new ideas. Being open to new concepts can help put your good-luck train on a new and faster track. But remember: Stay realistic. It's not just about the mindset but the consequent actions that will be beneficial.

A. These actions help generate ideas.

B. You also bounce back more quickly.

C. Social connections can affect your luck.

D. However, luck is not just a matter of chance.

E. Actually, luck is something you're born with.

F. Making such a move is tough but well worth it.

G. They are vital to turning opportunities into gains.

Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a "brain of gold" might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as "telephone operators" between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.

Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However, the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that "shakes" at the body's slightest movement.

"As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem," explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists.

This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called "gold nanowires" (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.

Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What's more, gold doesn't react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.

Aware of Aubrey's problem, her band director proposed her for Tech Engineering for Kids, a program which is run through a junior-level engineering course of the Tennessee Tech University. It involves students working in teams to design a form of custom assistive technology for children with special needs. Up to now, they have created toys and devices for children with sensory disorder.

Learning about Aubrey's story, a team of ten engineering students of the program decided to create 3D-printed prostheses (义肢) specifically designed for drumming. They would send a certain design to Aubrey, who would then provide feedback, like "I think this is good, but it's a little bit long. Could it be shortened?' or "It's a little bit hot on my arm. Could you potentially, like, make it a little bit more breathable?" The team created about six iterations of the prostheses until they were satisfied with the final product, which was not only hard-wearing but also flexible, allowing for drumstick attachments on both arms. This innovation not only improved sound quality but also provided the flexibility needed for advanced drumming techniques.

Aubrey was very grateful for this technical solution. "I was really excited that I was going to be able to use the new prostheses and try them out," she remarked. "They are becoming a very useful and resourceful tool to help me with my drumming." With her newfound drumming freedom, Aubrey sets her sights on mastering a full drum set. Meanwhile. Tech Engineering for Kids readies itself to extend its reach, bridging the gap between limitations and ambitions through technology.
